Hi guys.

I'm doing my breathers and have a blocked pipe.  Its the smallest one, no. 3 as seen in the pic below:



I've stuck a long wire down the whole length of the pipe but it seems to be the bottom bit where it comes out of the middle that's blocked.

I took this picture from the maintenance guide and cant work out exactly where the exit point for this pipe (purple line) is.  If I know that, maybe I can unblock it.

I've prodded around as much as I can with a thin bag tie wire but am not certain where to poke?

Can anyone offer advice on clearing this please?

Cheers

Neil

i used 2 cans of carb cleaner, and continous prodding, then aired out with wd40 after.

There are pin holes in the circular portion as in the photo insert.

A strand from a wire brush, held in vice grips and wriggle it in with copious carb cleaner....

Bloody Hell!

I didn't notice the two pin holes in the picture and Mine were completely blocked and covered in crud so I couldn't see them.

2 sodding hours tryin to clear that pipe ....I could have had it all back together by now.  Bang goes my ly-in tomorrow morning.

Might be a useful note to put on the maintenance guide for future users?

Cheers for the help guys, much appreciated.

Hi Neil I had the same would not move then put on the water hose , hose over the small hole and it will get all that muck out. Took 5 mins to clean all the holes.

When the water runs out clear you know your done

Hope that helps all the best
